Here is a handful of ppts taken from older threads that are useful with this book, with a few slight edits.  I don't recall who posted what, but much thanks for them.

Have some fun with your kids by pretending to be a robot!  They could ask you to sit down, stand up, open the door, close the door: it's excellent practice for them! 

Oh, man, my kids LOVED that last year.  Highly recommended!

maybe good for motivation?

Whats up everyone, hope the lessons are flyin by and the kids are off their rockers today :)
 I took someone's PPT on here, I think It's from wannalee,  which teaches the vocab for Ch 3 (open your book) (Close the window)  ONLY vocab from our book.... and added "points" after each slide...
So basically its now a game, where the teams say what the picture is, and then the next slide gives them (or takes away) points...
Very simple, but it's gonna be a good time... Cheers!

Quadrant Game -

Each class corner (quadrant) has a large card with two sentences printed. (ex: Stand up, Sit down, close your book, open your book, etc)
Write all sentences on paper then separate and put them into a hat.
Students choose a quadrant in the room and go and stand in that corner.
Choose one piece of paper and read the sentence to the class (to be done by Ss after the first round).
The team standing in that sentence's quadrant must sit down. (The paper goes back into the hat.)
The last person standing is the winner.
If the game drags on, instant winners can be found by changing rules to make the chosen sentence the winning quadrant (all others must sit).

My kids had a lot of fun with this game!

Here is a Rock Paper Scissor game to play with your kids at the end of lesson 2.  Students play in pairs.  Both students start at START and have to play rock, paper, scissor each time to see who gets to move up one space.  When they move to a new space, they have to say the action to stay there.  The first student to reach the top wins.  They can play as many times as they want in the allocated time.  The student with the most wins is the winner.

I have also attached a practice powerpoint to show the kids before they play.

Enjoy!

I like to use Simon says with this lesson.


Simon Says
Give these commands at the end of class for a game. When you have only one student left give a prize.


Commands-
Stand up
Simon says stand up
Sit down
Sit down
Simon sits down
Open you book
Simon says open your book
Point to the door
Point to the window
Simon says point to the window
Simon says stand up
Sit down
Simon say sit down

Thanks for the idea~ I think the robot activity would be fun for the grade 3's ^__^  i'll use that idea for my next lesson

[Mod - merged]

this topic is similar to the topic that i need to teach "Sit Down, Please" .. i will be teaching more key expressions like "be quiet" "stand in line" and other classroom language that the kids need to know.

Anyone have more ideas?

I got my co-teacher to explain Simon Says in Korean. We used it with the grade 3 class but I wanted to use it in a first grade where my 'co-teacher' is the homeroom teacher who speaks no English.  If the wav file would be useful to anyone I could upload it tomorrow.

I  thought this would be a boring lesson, but it was once of the best ones so far. For the first activity I said the actions and students had to do as I say, but the fun part was that I would trick them, and whoever gets it wrong is out. I made it a bit challenging by saying two or three sentences at once and they had to do them all in order and correct. The kids loved it! the last ten students who stayed in the game got a sticker on thier sticker tree:)
